I think imposing the smoking ban on adult establishments is wrong. If you see a "this is a smoking establishment" sign and you don't like then you don't go in. Very simple.
So we agree. Your IQ is low.

Thank you. Thank you for understanding common sense.
i don't think such signs exist.
reading comprehension skills = fail
my IQ could drop another hundred and I would still be 200 ahead of you.
they don't
quick: What right has government taken away from you that you wish you could have back
There is one that says Smoker's Welcome in north Travis county (not a typo).
Pretty much reflects the clientele.
LMAO @ smokers, must bee nice to be addicted to something though.
Whatever makes you feel better. If you think bullying people and demanding that they conform to your preference is intelligent then so be it. You already think you're god enough to control other grown adults and this method of leadership has proven to require very few IQ points to begin with.
You truely are the of what this country offers. You demand that others be a slave to your principles regardless of the laws that are in place to protect us from people like you.
I'm attempting to defend the laws that have already been in place. I'm also attempting to compromise some of those rights to benefit others. These laws that already exist aren't my opinions but the opinions of the people who created this country to protect its citizens.
Your opinion is in direct conflict with those very laws and YOU DON'T GIVE A ING ABOUT IT BECAUSE YOUR ING SELFISH ASS WANTS IT HIS WAY. YOU'RE A DISGRACE TO YOUR COUNTRY.

I'll wait here for you tell me that its my opinion and how I'm trying to control you and blah blah blah that you continue to vomit.
Then I'll point out how I said it was not my opinion but the opinion of the Cons ution that was laid out to protect us.
Then you'll say
yeah yeah I can just open my own business:
then I'll say
thats right moron you can but you prefer to play god over people and your very own cons ution.
then my ing chode will explode again
I hope you ing choke to death.
Here's why I don't particularly have a problem with this...smoking is an activity that is inherently unhealthy, and dangerous. It puts those who smoke at risk, as well as those around them at risk. It cannot be made healthy.
While I don't propose that we making smoking an illegal activity, I think it is in society's best interest to at least discourage the activity, and make societal accommodations for the HEALTHY alternative (not smoking), as oppossed to making societal accommodations for the UNHEALTHY alternative (smoking).
To me, it makes sense to ban or limit smoking in any place that is open to the public. Bars and pool halls are generally open to the public. If you want to have a private smoking club, be my guest. But if your establishment is open to the public, it is in the government's best interest to keep that public (whether they want to or not) in an environment that is least threatening to their health.
Additionally, smoking (to the non-smoking public) is considered by most to be a nuisance, and laws govern nuisances all the time (noise ordinances, landscaping ordinances, public decency laws, etc...).
well the tax hikes on tobacco certainly should discourage it. what are they now, $5 a pack? ridiculous.
this is just funny now
The right to refuse illegal search and seizure in the form of taking my blood during a sobriety check point.
I don't drink and drive. I'd like if I was stopped to legally refuse a breath test then contact my attorney without having my blood drawn by force.
-------
The right to not have my wages taxed. Because my wage is compensation for my labor not a gain or form of profit.
-------
The right to privacy. The right to not have my phone illegally tapped without cause.
-------
The right to grow and cultivate hemp. Which is only illegal because they wanted to strip the ability of blacks to have something they enjoyed. This drug was legal many years back and is currently legal in the MAJORITY of the planet. Including some of our very own states for medical purposes.
I could probably come up with a few more.
no you see all those ordinances go against all that our country stands on.
If I want my grass to grow higher than 4 feet tall, then it's my property and who the is the government that they can tell me otherwise.
Its what you say.
"yeah yeah I could just open my own smoke free business".
You've said it quite a few times here
also
"but but smoking is your preference....".
Even though I'm telling you it should be confined to an option only market.
You're a circle of Nazi stupidity.
so this happened to you?
I don't drink and drive. I'd like if I was stopped to legally refuse a breath test then contact my attorney without having my blood drawn by force.
if you arent over the limit to begin with, then why are you refusing a breathalyzer?
wowThe right to not have my wages taxed. Because my wage is compensation for my labor not a gain or form of profit.
and this has happened to you?The right to privacy. The right to not have my phone illegally tapped without cause.
I'll give you this one, but I think the government bit by bit is giving in ie California.The right to grow and cultivate hemp. Which is only illegal because they wanted to strip the ability of blacks to have something they enjoyed. This drug was legal many years back and is currently legal in the MAJORITY of the planet. Including some of our very own states for medical purposes.
i watched that NG special on ganga. i had no idea anyone who wanted to do studies on weed had to get it from one source at a university in the east, and the quality was questionable at best.
please. We're both going round in circles. I'm doing it because I like a good debate. Apparently, this is just pissing you off.
"[insert copy and paste about how it's for the kids here]
....and that's why you are a ing Nazi, Bush loving UnAmerican moron
Love,

I see your point but doing such and yes I know they're already doing it violates the rights of the business owner to allow a legal activity at his private bar thats open to the public.
You're point has all the credence in the world if smoking and cigarettes are illegal.
Its a violations of the private business owners right to dictate how he runs his establishment pertaining to a perfectly legal substance.
Especially if its an adults only place.
Don't mistake open to the public for public property. Its still private property. Smoking is legal. You have no right to tell him how to run his private business with a legal substance.
Cokes are bad we should make it where you can't have coke anywhere but your own home because the government should promote a healthier dining experience. Silly because as an adult you should be able to choose for yourself if you want to consume something thats legal. Illegally is obviously a different story.
Blake don't ing come in and tell me that coke and smoke aren't the same because my smoke can affect you. All you have to do is not enter the ing bar. Its not forced on you.
I'm advocating a forced albeit uncons utional environment where minors wouldn't have no choice of exposure.
Which is what 99% of your public.
I'm still waiting for all the valid studies that show more than a weak, statistically insignificant link between SHS and lung cancer/heart disease, Blake. Oh, and how the name of a website discredits any facts/studies included on it.
Question: If I'm to stop citing studies funded by big tobacco, then wouldn't it be proper for you not to cite studies/research funded by big pharma? In particular the ones that produce smoking cessation products, which coincidentally funded the research on one of your earlier links.
Thanks for allowing me to "see" who funds these studies.
That was a great show wasn't it.
you can keep waiting
yes, it was. i'm glad i didn't have my daughter that night
the how stuff works on beer last night on Disc HD was also pretty good. They spent a bit of time on both Sierra Nevada and Dogfish Head.
